Hmmm, this will be very interesting to watch. How they did the cut? It is very obvious that insanely popular like Lucario and Charizard MUST be there. To be honest, I don't think they can cut ANY of the original 151 from any future game soon. If I stop any person of around 30 years old and speak about voltorb, the person might think less of me for still being into pokemon, but they will definetely know what is a Voltorb.

The second gen is also fairly popular, and than the legendaries, at least the main ones, and all starters. Than you have smogon OU, can they really cut anything there without making their most hardcore players rage?

On the other hand, new pokemons need to have their space, as they are part of what makes a new region feel different.

To be quite honest 500 models is still way more than most games would have to work with I think. I think this was going to happen sooner or later, but it would be naive from them to not expect some backlash. Let's see how they handle it.

Ganefreak cant just make all pokemons in that graphic for a short amount of time.

That's the thing though - they aren't making any new models or animations so there's very little work to actually be done. All older Pokemon are the exact same as they were back in XY in 2013. No changes whatsoever. In S/M, they all even had walking models/animations for the overworld, just never got used. There are very no new assets to be created for older mon, cutting them makes absolutely no sense.

Pokemon is the biggest franchise in the world. It generates more money than some small countries, and I'm not going to give them a pass I would give a small indie studio. It's not the 90s anymore, if they wanted to they could make a Pokemon game as GTA V, but they'd rather give and take features every gen, and now it seems that it will happen to the pokemon themselves as well.

And if it was just a matter of time, why not just wait an extra year, or focus on Sword/Shield instead of Let's Go? Why make US/UM immediately after Sun/Moon? Even recycling content from those games, that had to be time consuming.

Ah I see. Well im not a big Pokemon fan (Only played 3 Mainline pokemon games +Lets Go) sooo it probably didnt and wont bother me. But it does suck for majority of the people.
